Helminths belong to the group of lower life forms. They can only exist at the expense of the organism of their carriers. Most worms not only live in the body, but also disrupt its function with their presence. Consequently, the more types of worms live in the body and the longer they live in it, the more human health deteriorates. For this reason, underestimating the effect of helminths and postponing their treatment for later is not recommended.
It is best to do prophylaxis regularly and quickly remove worms when they appear. You can eliminate them both with medicines and through traditional medicine. The latter have several advantages at the same time. First of all, they are much less dangerous, since they do not have synthetic elements. It is important to note that popular methods are in no way inferior to medical ones in terms of effectiveness.
Second, medical methods for eliminating helminths have appeared relatively recently, while traditional medicine has been used with great success since the first generation. This material will be dedicated to the best remedies to combat worms in the human body, offered by traditional medicine.
Pumpkin seeds for parasites
The effectiveness of pumpkin seeds is due to the presence in their composition of a deadly substance for worms called cucurbitin. The most beneficial is the film between the skin of the seed and its grain. This is where the highest amount of cucurbitin is found. Therefore, you must use the seeds together with this film.
The mechanism of action of the seeds is paralysis of helminths, which is why they completely lose their ability to move, adhere to the walls of the intestinal mucosa and multiply. Therefore, after a certain period of time, they will completely leave the body.
It is important to note that pumpkin seeds have three undeniable benefits:
- A wide spectrum of action, covering absolutely all types of intestinal helminths;
- Versatility. The seeds can be consumed by both adults and children;
- Taste. Eating pumpkin seeds is easy and enjoyable.
In addition, the seeds retain their beneficial properties under various treatments.
The list of the most effective home remedies is as follows:
- Pumpkin seeds + honey. Recipe: Peel and grind 300 grams of seeds in a blender or coffee grinder. Then add cold water to the resulting mixture in a volume sufficient to make the mixture into a suspension, then add 1 tablespoon. l. honey (as much as possible). The entire mixture should be consumed within an hour. The procedure should be done in the morning on an empty stomach. After 180 minutes after use, take an enema or take a laxative to cleanse the body;
- Pumpkin seeds + garlic. Garlic contains phytoncides, which also have a negative effect on parasites. In this case, the grains are not cleaned and are slightly fried. The recipe is as follows: you must grind 200 g of pumpkin seeds in a blender and add crushed garlic (approximately 6 cloves) to them. You can improve the taste of the product by adding honey there, but not more than a few tablespoons. After that, let the porridge infuse for half a day. The product should be taken one tablespoon on an empty stomach 3 hours before meals. The course of taking this drug is short - only 4 days;
- Pumpkin seeds + castor oil. Recipe: Take 100 pumpkin seeds and divide them into 4 parts, 25 seeds each. Initially, you need to eat only the first part, and after 60 minutes take 1 tsp. Beaver oil. An important tip: the seeds must be chewed well. The result will appear after one day. In especially difficult situations, treatment must last for several days;
- Pumpkin seeds + milk. Recipe: Pour 200 grams of raw seeds with milk and beat with a mixer. As a result, you will get porridge. You will need to have breakfast. After 60 minutes, drink a cup of water and after another 60 minutes, drink water again, but now as much as possible. After 2. 5 hours, take castor oil; it will have a laxative effect.
Troichka of parasites
As the name implies, the triad is a three-component preparation consisting of tansy, bitter wormwood, and cloves.
- Tansy contains thujone, a neurotoxin fatal to helminths. Kill the worms as soon as it enters the body. By the way, you can effectively remove not only worms, but also their larvae. Furthermore, the effects of this substance include stimulation of gastric juice secretion and gastrointestinal motility. The first helps to increase the acidity of the environment in the stomach, thus killing protozoa and bacteria, and the second - the easier removal of already dead helminths. However, such a strong and aggressive action has a downside. The fact is that thujone has a toxic effect not only on helminths, but also on humans. And if an adult tolerates such a dose of toxins more or less normally, then a younger patient may suffer severe poisoning;
- Bitter wormwood also has a negative effect on worms and protozoa. The effect of the plant is due to its bitterness and tanning properties. It is important to note that products that contain absinthe in their composition cannot be used for more than 60 days. Additional intake of the drug can lead to accumulation intoxication;
- Clove has antifungal and antiviral effects.
A triad is being prepared according to the following recipe. You need to grind all the ingredients into a powder, then mix 1 part bitter wormwood, 2 parts cloves, and 4 parts tansy.
The tool should be taken three times a day, a teaspoon half an hour before meals, washed down with a glass of water (more, but not less). Troichetka has a small number of side effects associated with the individual reaction of the body to the components of the drug. The list of contraindications is much broader, it includes gastrointestinal diseases, immunodeficiency states, severe poisonings, childhood and old age. Before preparing and consuming the triad, you should speak with your doctor and get tested.

They can be used together or separately.
The recipe for the combined infusion looks like this. Mix one tablespoon of each herb.

Having previously filtered the infusion, it should be drunk every day by half a glass on an empty stomach. You should store the infusion only in the refrigerator.

Parasites during pregnancy: treatment with folk remedies.
Pumpkin seeds are one of the best treatments for worms in pregnant women. First, it is completely safe. Second, it is effective. And thirdly, it is quite versatile. There are many recipes for pumpkin seeds in which every pregnant woman will find a method to her liking. We name the most popular methods:
- In the morning, eat three tablespoons of peeled pumpkin seeds (be sure to chew them well). After 120 minutes, drink 2 tablespoons. l. olive or sunflower oil (it will act as a laxative). Some time after this, the worms will leave the body naturally. If necessary, a second course is allowed;

- Spin 100 grams of pumpkin seeds through a meat grinder (you can grind through a coffee grinder). Add 40-50 ml of water and mix well to form a porridge. It should be consumed 4 times a day, 25 grams for 10 days.
Pumpkin seeds kill helminths in most cases, but not always. It happens that the worms remain. But at least the pumpkin seeds won't do any harm.
Another good remedy for worms in pregnant women is red beet juice. It should be drunk daily at 1 tablespoon. l. in 7 days. This simple recipe will allow you to completely eliminate the worms from the body in 7 days, without harming the mother or the fetus.
If you have worms during the watermelon season, we recommend that you try them as well. But here it is important not to overdo it: the abuse of melons and pumpkins is categorically not recommended for pregnant women. It can lead to a load on the kidneys and the appearance of edema, and this will create difficulties for both the woman and the fetus. Therefore, you must eat watermelons within reasonable limits. In this case, they can also help eliminate parasites.
The third option is freshly squeezed pomegranate juice. It has a double effect:
- Eliminate worms;
- Increase hemoglobin.
It is the second effect that is the main reason why pomegranate juice is the leader in the list of recommendations for pregnant women infected with helminths.
The least pleasant, but undoubtedly most effective, method is, of course, an enema.
There are three effective recipes for enemas:
- Finely chop 5 garlic cloves and add a tablespoon of dried absinthe. Pour the mixture with half a liter of boiling water and let it infuse for half an hour. This enema should be done for 3 to 5 days;
- Pour two tablespoons of chamomile with a glass of boiling water, then leave it for 30 minutes;
- Apply an enema with a light soapy solution.
It is important to choose the most suitable option for you and be sure to discuss it with your doctor. In this case, you will not experience much discomfort and you will get the maximum positive effect.
Treatment of parasites in children with home remedies.
Treating worms in children, as in the case of pregnant women, requires a delicate approach. Of course, you should start by taking the child for a consultation with a pediatrician and conducting all the necessary investigations. Self-medication is strictly prohibited! No matter how harmless the remedy may seem at first glance, it can have an extremely negative effect. Any medication can only be used with the approval of the treating physician.
Next, we will consider the recipes of the most effective remedies for the removal of worms in children, offered by traditional medicine:
- Peel a medium onion, cut it into small pieces and place it in a jar. Pour a glass of boiling water into it and close the lid, then let it steep for 12 hours at room temperature. It is necessary to take the product daily, 100 ml. The effect will come after 7 days;
- Divide the pomegranate into 2 pieces. Mix one of them with a glass of boiling water and boil for 10 minutes, then wrap the pan and let the product infuse for 3 hours in this way, then strain. You should take it three times a day, 2 sips. The therapeutic course lasts 14 days;
- Peel the head of garlic and fill it with 250 grams of milk. Cook until garlic is soft (a few minutes is enough). Let steep for 12 hours and then strain. The child should receive three tablespoons of this broth once a day in the morning before meals. The therapeutic course lasts for 1 week.
In short, it should be noted that home remedies for removing helminths definitely deserve attention. They are no less effective than drugs, but much less toxic. However, they cannot be unequivocally recommended. We emphasize that any treatment (both with medication and with the use of traditional medicine) must be agreed with the treating physician. Only then will therapy bring a 100% positive result.
